Chapter 511: Testing the Flying Treasure

In less than an hour, Yi Chen received a significant decision from Duke Farah through the Intelligence Organization.

For this, he could only praise the idea as beautiful, but the reality was somewhat harsh.

Thinking about assassinating the high-ranking leaders of the Great Flame Empire was undoubtedly a foolish dream.

The strong fighters sent over were just walking to their deaths.

However, this time, busy with improving various skills and Immortal-level Artifacts, he didn’t go personally; instead, he waited for these fighters to come to him.

With the information provided by the Intelligence Organization, he could easily track the movements of this batch of fighters sent over.

What surprised him, however, were the follow-up messages from the Intelligence Organization, stating that these fighters sent to assassinate the leaders of the Great Flame Empire were dragging their feet, deliberately stalling and unwilling to act.

Their attitudes and thoughts were actually quite similar to those of Marquises Moses.

Duke Farah did not want to take sides.

Given his status and power, even without choosing a side, he could still gain tremendous benefits.

But the Marquises and Counts under Duke Farah did not feel the same way.

For them, the Tianling Star Cluster was a small star system, far from the thriving Undying Star System.

Most of the benefits were monopolized by Duke Farah, leaving them with only scraps to eat.

While Duke Farah wanted to remain neutral, they wished to bet on either the Undying King or Duke Bolai to advance their own positions through military achievements.

However, Duke Farah maintained his neutrality, and as his subordinates, they had no choice but to keep the status quo.

As the Undying Race pulled back their defenses, their territories shrank significantly, and their interests suffered greatly.

Duke Farah had to continuously support the Undying King and Duke Bolai to maintain a balance, which often involved scraping resources and treasures from them to cover his own losses.

This led to the Marquises and Counts of the Undying Race in the Tianling Star Cluster facing increasingly difficult circumstances over the past few thousand years.

Their dissatisfaction with Duke Farah grew stronger.

Unfortunately, Duke Farah was extremely powerful.

Looking across the Undying Race, only the Undying King and Duke Bolai could stand against him.

Among the Undying Race, he ranked among the top strong fighters.

Even if they killed them, they wouldn’t dare to question Duke Farah’s decisions.

But uniting together to outwardly obey while secretly expressing their dissatisfaction was not an issue.

At that moment, the Undying Race fighters who received the orders shared this mindset.

Duke Farah wanted to delay time, and they were doing the same, looking for various seemingly reasonable excuses to prove that they had important matters to handle and could not act temporarily.

They intended to delay for as long as possible, only taking action when they absolutely had to.

Knowing the situation, Yi Chen could only set this matter aside for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Under the persuasion of three teams, all the large tribes of the Black Tiger Tribe on over thirty life planets chose to surrender to the Nika tribe.

Those smaller and medium-sized tribes that refused to surrender were mostly wiped out by the larger tribes that did.

On the life planets controlled by the Black Tiger Tribe, over ninety percent of their territory became part of the Great Flame Empire’s influence.

However, fully integrating all the tribes of the Black Tiger Tribe would take time.

This did not affect Yi Chen’s talent bonus, which once again resulted in multiple times of explosive growth.

As the expansion speed of the Great Flame Empire and his talent bonus officially entered a phase of remarkable increase, Yi Chen not only improved and elevated all his skills and Immortal-level Artifacts to the peak of his current realm but also raised his own realm to the second level of True Immortal Stage.

Just one step away from the third level of True Immortal Stage, his communication stone began to vibrate slightly.

Upon checking, it was a communication request from the Shadow King, just as he had expected.

"Your Majesty, the large battleship carrying the powerful beings from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe will arrive in the galaxy in about a day!"

"Alright, send me your coordinates. I’ll come over now," Yi Chen decided.

"Okay!"

The Shadow King nodded.

After ending the communication, Yi Chen immediately enveloped the flying treasure with his divine consciousness.

With a thought, he used the Teleportation Technique to pass through the defensive formation around the Great Flame Empire’s base and the defensive formation surrounding the teleportation array, arriving inside the teleportation array.

Then he used the teleportation array to transport himself to the one located on the exile planet.

His divine consciousness quickly spread out.

The exile planet was quiet.

Only a group of fierce beasts, which had previously remained on the exile planet, patrolled the area.

There were no humans on the entire exile planet.

However, in outer space above the exile planet, a large unmanned battleship lingered.

This was the unmanned large battleship that the Federal Parliament and the Military had kept at the exile planet, unable to withstand the pressure from the federal populace.

The entire human federation was still livestreaming from the exile planet.

Many members of the federal public periodically watched the livestream, reminiscing about the good old days.

They also hoped that Yi Chen would have a sudden idea to come to the exile planet for a visit, thereby revealing his whereabouts.

Of course, this so-called good old days was just a notion held by the federal populace.

For Yi Chen, being observed and streamed by the federal public could hardly be considered good times.

Fortunately, that was all in the past.

When the human federation aligned with the Tree-Dwelling Tribe, attempting to confront him, he had already officially freed himself from the control of the human federation.

Now, he turned the tables, consistently hiding from the human federation.

One day, he would turn back and confront the human federation, presenting them with an ultimatum they could not escape.

Either perish or face a more painful demise.

Although Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire’s strength had surpassed what the people of the human federation could imagine, the existence of the huge threat posed by the Tree-Dwelling Tribe still made their power insufficient.

After scanning the old site of the Great Flame Kingdom with his divine consciousness, Yi Chen did not linger for long.

He used the Teleportation Technique to instantly bring the flying treasure into the outer space of the exile planet.

In just over ten minutes, he reached the cosmic storm zone.

Once regarded by the human federation as the impassable barrier preventing his departure from the exile planet, the flying treasure easily passed through the cosmic storm zone in less than a few minutes.

He then switched to the mini Space Vessel and activated the Space Jump System.

In a moment, the mini Space Vessel did not transport to the coordinates provided by the Shadow King.

Instead, it appeared at a nearby location.

Yi Chen switched back to the flying treasure and headed toward the Shadow King’s location.

Having broken through to True Immortal First Level, he once again improved and strengthened the defensive formation.

Not only did the defense strength of the formation surrounding the flying treasure become more powerful, but its ability to shield Perception Ability also received significant enhancements.

He intended to test this effect of the defensive formation’s ability to block Perception Ability with the Shadow King.

As he approached the coordinates provided by the Shadow King, Yi Chen began to retract his divine consciousness into the flying treasure.

In just over ten seconds, the communication stone in his storage ring started to vibrate slightly.

When he took it out, he saw that it was a communication request from the Shadow King.

"Your Majesty, I can sense your flying treasure…"

The Shadow King immediately sensed the presence of the flying treasure and guessed Yi Chen’s intention after noticing that his divine consciousness had not left the flying treasure.

"Did you sense it as soon as you entered my Perception range?" Yi Chen asked.

"No, I only sensed it when you were about halfway within range," the Shadow King explained.

Yi Chen showed a delighted expression.

From start to finish, he had never thought that the improved flying treasure would block the Shadow King’s perception.

The real key was whether entering the Shadow King’s sensing range allowed him to perceive the presence of the flying treasure.

The fact that the Shadow King could only sense it at about halfway into his range indicated that even when facing someone at level 190, the flying treasure could still shield the opponent’s Perception Ability.

However, it just did not completely prevent detection.

At the moment, Yi Chen was only at level 130.

Once he reached level 190, the stealth capability of his improved flying treasure would definitely be harder to trace than even the Shadow King, who excelled in concealment.
